Hydroflo Prepackaged Pumping Systems Presented to: Presented by: John Curls Jr., P.E. BARNEY S PUMPS INC.
What is it? Hydroflo A Hydroflo Packaged Pumping System provides variable volume at a constant pressure regardless of flow requirements. Why buy it? Availability Quality UL QCZJ listed as an entire assembly Cost Pre-engineering provides cost savings A framework with options Accountability Witness testing at no charge
A Hydroflo System
Hydroflo Applications Potable water Reclaimed water Sewage Seal water system Process water Any application for Quick turnaround Minimized on-site presence Possible elimination of or reduced need for a contractor
Hydroflo Applications
Pump(s) Main Hydroflo Components Jockey/pressure maintenance pump Skid base Pipe and valves Hydraulically-actuated automatic control valve (Cla-Val) Hydropneumatic tank? Depends on system, but VFD s are generally better A tank means a larger footprint Control Panel Instrumentation Other Power Zone Antennae

Hydroflo Pump Types Basically most any type of pump can be used to meet the needs of the application Flow considerations Pressure considerations Space/geometry considerations Special constraints imposed by the application (material, environmental, etc.) Cost considerations
Hydroflo Valves, Pipe & Skid Valves & Pipe AWWA, Plug, Control, etc. Steel, ductile iron, stainless steel or HDPE pipe Baseplate / Skid Steel or aluminum Stainless steel bolts Rigid and flexible conduit on Aluminum Unistrut NEC code wiring Coatings Epoxies NSF 61 Zinc

Hydropneumatic Tank Not standard for Hydroflo/VFD system Allows the system to shut down all pumps. Low demand and/or system leakage slowly drain the tank until the pressure drops to the cut-in point. System reactivation brings the system pressure back up and recharges the tank. Used on systems that have periods of no flow, or very, very low flow Bladder vs. Non-bladder Small percentage of volume is useable Can be located anywhere in the system Bypass line is an alternative Control Valve

Hydroflo Control Systems A framework with options Constant pressure variable speed Pressure transducer(s) with pressure switch backup Flowmeter Pump sequencing VFD feedback Flow calls Pumps always operate on their curve PLC with HMI Control other equipment SCADA interface Local wireless (spread spectrum) Mobile wireless (GSM and CDMA)
Hydroflo Control Systems System adjusts to changes in demand By adjusting pump speed By sequencing pumps on/off Energy savings Avoids running a large pump at low flows Only what is needed is provided Design point on right-side of curve Operate through the BEP H.I. Variable Speed Pumping

Programmable Logic Controller Microprocessor based controller with many inputs and outputs Rugged and dependable (no reboots) Digital and analog I/O Ladder logic is in the software Functionality increasing Cost decreasing
Programmable Logic Controller Pros: Can handle very complex control systems. Much less wiring required (logic is internal) Can be less expensive than hardwired panel for complex systems New control sequences can be incorporated by simple reprogramming Setpoints easily changed through panel HMI External communication (Ethernet) Cons: Panel HMI or laptop required to allow access to setpoints More expensive on simple systems
Hard-wired Relays Simple technology NOT simple to use! Pros: Individual relays inexpensive / easily replaced Setpoints and time delays are mechanically manipulated and adjusted (hardware specific) Cons: Complex systems are intricate, complex & expensive Numerous components to go bad Not always easy to identify relays and wiring Not easy to change Easy to make setpoint mistakes Cannot do some things that a PLC can Control sequence can be modified within PLC without shutdown of system.
Remote Access All systems should incorporate capability Remote troubleshooting Saves service call dollars SCADA Modem High-speed connection is preferred Many components have on-board web servers Access times can be controlled by customer with use of remote access selector switch. VPN
